Strap for Divers Sixty-Five 38 Cotton Candy Sky Blue / Bracelet

The lug width of this model is 19 millimetres. This specification is particular to the Divers 65 and must be respected precisely when selecting a compatible strap. You can verify it by positioning a digital calliper between the inner edges of the two lugs on the case.

It depends on your intended use. For formal or elegant contexts, we recommend vegetable-tanned calf or alligator, which create visual harmony with the bronze case and develop a complementary patina. For frequent diving use, a quality nylon NATO strap guarantees resistance to salt corrosion and practicality. For a versatile solution, calf in cognac or tobacco tones balances elegance and durability.

Use a dedicated spring bar tool designed for lug removal. Position the flat end of the tool under the small cylindrical spring that supports the lug, apply gentle pressure toward the case centre to compress the spring, then slide the lug out of the hole. Repeat on the other side. This operation requires precision to avoid scratching the bronze case.

Yes, provided the strap is specific to 19mm lugs and constructed with artisanal materials of proven quality. Specialised strap makers guarantee impeccable fitting and mechanical compatibility. Avoid generic solutions from unvetted e-commerce platforms: the build quality of your Oris deserves an artisanal strap.

On a diving watch like the Divers 65, if the strap is frequently exposed to salt water, an artisanal calf with proper treatment lasts 3–5 years before requiring replacement. Alligator, being more delicate, lasts 4–6 years in humidity-controlled environments. A nylon NATO resists indefinitely. Care is essential: dry thoroughly after immersion, apply vegetable balms occasionally to maintain leather structure.
